Rebirth: 1977

When Ye Tianshui carried the box and walked into Ye Jianfeng's office, old man Ye was stunned.

"Xiao Shui, you little brat, why are you carrying such a big box?

Don’t you feel tired? I asked you to bring a few paintings, why did you bring the boxes as well? "

Ye Tianshui gently placed the box on the long table where Ye Jianfeng often practiced calligraphy, wiped the sweat from his face, and smiled:

"Dad, this box is filled with ancient calligraphy and paintings. I brought them here for you to choose from.

In addition, I have some ideas to discuss with you and listen to your opinions. "

Ye Jianfeng pushed the wheelchair over, stroked the box with his hand, and exclaimed:

"No wonder you have been reluctant to move these sealed things. The wood of this box is good, and the paint craftsmanship and wax seal are all made of special materials."

"Dad, please select a few paintings to send to the museum first, and keep a few for you to copy in your free time.

As for the rest, I have some plans and would like to discuss it with you before making a decision. "

Ye Tianshui said as he was about to unlock the door.

Ye Jianfeng waved his hand to stop Ye Tianshui's action and asked seriously:

"How many ancient paintings do you have here? What eras are they from?"

Ye Tianshui simply replied:

“I just looked at a few paintings, from the Tang, Qing and Song dynasties, but I didn’t look at them in detail.

I clicked on it and there were twenty-five pictures. ”

Ye Jianfeng led Ye Tianshui to sit on a chair:

"First, tell me about your trip. It sounds like it didn't go well?"

Ye Tianshui recounted the process of going to Meihua County:

"Dad, this is very strange, most people would not do such a thing at this time.

Wu Pingyan was not in the capital. As a playboy, he knew nothing about the jade business.

Even if he saw big trucks like that coming and going on the road over there, he didn't seem like the kind of person who would take a second look at them.

At this time, how many people know about jade? Even fewer people will pay attention to it when they see it in a box.

But how could it be such a coincidence that Wu Pingyan had his eyes on our jade transport truck?

He would never attack without reason, and once he attacked, he would beat the person to death.

The county magistrate might have been instigated by Wu Pingyan to cooperate."

Ye Jianfeng was silent for a while, looked at Ye Tianshui sharply, and asked:

"Do you suspect that it's Old Man Wu who's behind this?"

Ye Tianshui nodded: "Without the guidance of an expert, this would not have happened.

Moreover, they even dared to use the policy of severe crackdown, without interrogating the suspects, and adopted a "quick, accurate and ruthless" approach to deal with them.

The target is definitely the mines I own outside northern Myanmar.

But, Dad, that method is too cruel. It's okay to pick our peaches, but it's against the will of heaven to disregard the lives of 25 people. "

Ye Jianfeng snorted coldly: "This is something that old man Wu would do, he is so cruel! It's a good idea to intercept the transportation routes and people between the capital and the jade mine first.

The plan was good, but he missed a lot of things.

The change was that one of Sang Nancan's nephew's subordinates was smart enough to escape and call the capital for help in time.

No matter how well-planned a plan is, if there is a loophole, it is doomed to fail. "

Ye Tianshui understood that the fact that Achou was able to arrange for people to escape under such circumstances was the first unexpected event that occurred in the Wu family's plan.

In addition, Ye Tianshui's understanding of the nature of the crackdown and his familiarity with human greed, as well as the fact that he had so many military and police forces at his disposal that could be flexibly deployed, were all beyond the Wu family's plan.

He reacted immediately in such a short time, arriving in time and even going directly to the detention center to 'rescue' the person.

Instead of wasting time by going around looking for someone to intercede and solve the problem, the Wu family didn't even know that there was a Ye Tianshui behind Sang Nianzhong!

"What are you going to do next? What are your plans?"

Ye Jianfeng asked cautiously.

Ye Tianshui said without hesitation:

"Dad, if Mr. Wu simply used his power to steal business and money, I can forgive him regardless of whether he wins or loses.

After all, there are many people who are in high positions of power and are obsessed with money.

But they went too far. If I had gone a day later, those twenty-five people would have become victims of their attempt to steal their money.

I must settle this account with them."

"How are you going to calculate it?"

Ye Jianfeng asked seriously.

"I have a preliminary idea about this matter. Can you give me some advice and see if it will work?"

Ye Tianshui's tone became more and more calm:

"Twenty-five 'death row prisoners' are missing in Meihua County. County Chief Bian Kang and Deputy Chief Wu Pingyan have an obligation to accept legal punishment.

How will they be punished? We will wait and see what happens and see the attitude of the local government. If they are severely punished, we will not have to intervene.

If it's just a 'gentle and gentle' education, I will have to compile some evidence for them. Based on what they have done, it won't be too much to kill them even without taking advantage of the opportunity of a severe crackdown!

I am very optimistic about Meihua County. I am thinking of sending Wu Pingtao there to serve as an 'acting county chief' first, and then he can be promoted or become a regular county chief when the time is right. We can do it step by step."

Ye Jianfeng was surprised:

"Or let the grandson of the Wu family be the leader there? What's your intention?"

Ye Tianshui smiled:

"Wu Pingtao is both the grandson of Mr. Wu and the son-in-law of Uncle Su.

These identities will not affect his ability to do his job well. I trust him for this.

The key point is that he had worked there for ten years and was very familiar with Meihua County.

Wu Pingtao will definitely pursue a career in politics in the future. Although there are good opportunities in Pengcheng, the city and the countryside are different.

Letting him train as a grassroots leader in rural areas for a few years will be more helpful to his future development.

Besides, Dad, to be honest, I have a selfish motive.”

Ye Tianshui looked at Ye Jianfeng and said sincerely:

"Meihua County is located at the edge of the Taibai Mountains. It is a place with high mountains, dense forests and few people. The resources in the mountains are very rich, but the people there are very poor.

The policy of reform and opening up can transform the "collective economy" in mountainous areas into a "market economy".

You see, when I went to Pengcheng to buy land a few years ago, I also sold seafood to them. I made money for myself and also promoted the development of the local fishery economy.

I want to follow suit and contract a few mountains to raise rare and exotic animals that can be sold.

Dad, many years ago, I had an idea in my mind to grow my own medicinal herbs, open my own pharmaceutical factory and set up a research and development base for Chinese patent medicines.

This time when I went to Meihua County, I felt that the place just met my ideal. The historical King of Medicine Sun Simiao lived in seclusion in Taibai Mountain.

There are thousands of wild herbs that can be picked in the deep mountains and forests.

If the demand for those medicinal materials is high, they can also be artificially planted and cultivated.

If Wu Pingtao went there, I could help him invest in building a proper highway to solve the traffic problem.

Next, farmers in the mountainous areas can contract forests, grow fruits, mushrooms, etc., collect Chinese medicinal materials, and go hunting.

We can send people to buy those materials, and they can also transport them by road and sell them to people in big cities outside."
